Covent Garden Floating Building Art by Alex Chinneck

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Artist Alex Chinneck has constructed a building that resembles a part of the London Covent Garden market that seems to flat in mid-air. The installation took 500 hours to paint, and over 100 people were involved in its construction. The piece, titled "Take My Lighting But Don't Steal My Thunder", is on show until October 24.

The artwork is made from foam and is actually held-up by a counterweight designed like a market kiosk, which is located on one of the sides of the installation. The artwork had attracted a lot of attention when I visited it on Saturday morning.
